            <code class="function">glCallList</code> causes the named display list to be executed.
            The commands saved in the display list are executed in order,
            just as if they were called without using a display list.
            If <em class="parameter"><code>list</code></em> has not been defined as a display list,
            <code class="function">glCallList</code> is ignored.
        </p><p>
            <code class="function">glCallList</code> can appear inside a display list.
            To avoid the possibility of infinite recursion resulting from display lists
            calling one another,
            a limit is placed on the nesting level of display
            lists during display-list execution.
            This limit is at least 64, and it depends on the implementation.
        </p><p>
            GL state is not saved and restored across a call to <code class="function">glCallList</code>.
            Thus,
            changes made to GL state during the execution of a display list
            remain after execution of the display list is completed.

            and <a class="citerefentry" href="glPopMatrix"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glPopMatrix</span></span></a> to preserve GL state across <code class="function">glCallList</code> calls.
